Looking in the Deck's direction with deep anxiety in the wallet...
I was reeeaaally tempted to get it last time it was discounted but the rational skeptic in me knows it'd be just a forgotten toy on the side within a month since I'm used to gaming on my (pretty good) desktop. Even if you travel a lot it only has a few hours of battery life so you can't take it too far from civilization anyway
Would an external battery pack be able to keep it going? I have a battery pack that claims it can put out up to 18W. It's really meant for phones, but wonder if it can keep a Steam Deck going, too?
